Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a snow melting machine. Background Art

[0002] A snow melting machine, also known as a snow mud machine, an ice cream machine or a smoothie machine, is a device specifically used for making snow mud (soft ice cream, smoothie). It facilitates the refrigeration of the compressor to quickly reduce the liquid in the loading barrel 2 to below 0°C. During use, the loading barrel 2 is usually detachable to facilitate the user to pour the internal smoothie from the barrel mouth. In order to prevent the internal raw materials from leaking, a sealing ring 9 is generally added between the barrel mouth of the loading barrel 2 and the machine body 90.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, the sealing ring 9 on the snow melter currently on the market is provided with 2 to 3 convex ribs 91. After the loading barrel 2 is installed, the outer wall of the barrel mouth of the loading barrel 2 is bent and deformed by the multiple convex ribs 91, thereby achieving a sealing effect. However, in this design, when the loading barrel 2 is installed, the multiple convex ribs 91 structure hinders the installation of the loading barrel 2, requiring a large installation force. Moreover, during the installation process, the barrel mouth of the loading barrel 2 contacts the convex ribs 91 first, and the force applied by the user may directly cause the entire sealing ring 9 to deform or move, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance or failure.

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a snow melter, including a snow melter body 1, a loading barrel 2 detachably arranged on the snow melter body 1, and an elastic sealing member 4 is also arranged on the snow melter body 1, and the elastic sealing member 4 is used to seal the outer edge of the barrel mouth of the loading barrel 2 after being installed with the loading barrel 2; after the loading barrel 2 is installed, the elastic sealing member 4 between the barrel mouth and the snow melter body 1 can ensure that the internal raw materials will not leak.

[0029] In the embodiment of the utility model, for the convenience of use, a feeding port is also provided on the upper side of the charging barrel 2. In addition, a stirring component is also provided on the snow melting machine body 1 at the position where the charging barrel 2 is installed, so that the charging barrel 2 cooperates with the elastic sealing member 4 to form a sealed stirring chamber after installation.

[0030] In this scheme, if Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the elastic seal 4 has a sealing side surface 401 facing the outer edge of the barrel opening of the charging barrel 2, and the sealing side surface 401 forms a cross-sectional shape with a thickness gradually increasing along the loading direction of the charging barrel 2. This solution improves the structure of the elastic seal 4, and through the sealing side surface 401 with gradually increasing thickness, the charging barrel 2 forms an installation process from being about to be installed to being installed in place, which gradually contacts with the elastic seal to extruding the elastic seal to deform the elastic seal. This process reduces the obstruction of the elastic seal to the installation process of the charging barrel, that is, it reduces the obstruction path of the elastic seal 4 contacting and extruding the charging barrel 2 during the installation process, making it easier for users to install, and the elastic seal 4 with gradually increasing thickness can ensure sufficient interference, thereby ensuring the sealing performance.

[0031] In the embodiment of the utility model, the sealing side 401 also has a certain guiding function. When it contacts the barrel mouth of the loading barrel 2 during the installation of the loading barrel 2, it can guide the correct deformation direction to prevent the loading barrel 2 from pushing the entire elastic seal 4 and causing the sealing performance to decrease. This can be achieved by setting a guiding bevel or inclined surface on the sealing side 401. Preferably, this scheme adopts an inclined surface that is inclined upward from the loading direction of the loading barrel 2.

[0032] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the utility model, the elastic seal 4 has a connection portion 402 assembled with the snow melter body 1, and a gap is left between the connection portion 402 and the sealing side 401 for the sealing side 401 to deform radially inward. In this solution, the elastic seal 4 as a whole is adapted to the barrel mouth contour of the charging barrel 2, is roughly circular, and is directly sleeved and installed on the snow melter body 1 through the connection portion 402. Moreover, the gap between the connection portion 402 and the sealing side 401 cooperates with the above-mentioned guided sealing side 401, so that when the elastic seal 4 contacts the charging barrel 2, it is deformed into the gap first to prevent the connection portion 402 from being squeezed and displaced.

[0033] In the embodiment of the utility model, the elastic seal 4 is detachably mounted on the snow melter body 1. The elastic seal 4 is designed to be easily detachable and mounted on the snow melter body 1. The detachable setting allows great convenience in maintenance and cleaning. Such a structural arrangement ensures that the user can easily clean the seal when performing later maintenance work, or replace a new seal when it is worn or damaged. This detachable feature not only increases the service life of the snow melter, but also greatly reduces maintenance costs and time, thereby improving the overall use efficiency and user experience.

[0034] In this solution, the elastic seal 4 is made of rubber or silicone material, which can ensure that the seal maintains its excellent elastic properties, thereby effectively improving the sealing effect. At the same time, this material also has good aging resistance, which significantly extends the service life of the seal.

[0035] Another feature of this solution is the integrated design of the connection part 402 and the sealing side 401. This design makes the connection between the connection part and the sealing side more tightly, effectively improving the overall sealing performance.

[0036] In this solution, in order to prevent the charging barrel 2 from being easily loosened, the snow melter body 1 is also provided with a locking structure 5 for locking the charging barrel 2. Specifically, in this solution, a locking protrusion 203 is provided on the outer periphery of the charging barrel 2, and the locking structure 5 includes a locking knob that can rotate relative to the snow melter body 1. The locking knob is provided with a locking channel 51 for the locking protrusion 203 to enter. The locking channel 51 has a locking opening extending to the outer periphery of the locking knob. The locking channel 51 changes the direction of the locking opening as the locking knob rotates. During assembly, the locking opening is rotated to be opposite to the locking protrusion 203 (such as Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the locking protrusion 203 is inserted into the locking channel 51 from the locking port during the installation of the charging barrel 2, and the locking port is rotated to another position (such as Figure 8 As shown), the locking protrusion 203 can be prevented from being disengaged, thereby achieving a locking effect.

[0037] Of course, in order to further improve the locking effect, the present solution provides symmetrical locking knobs on both sides of the snow melter body 1 , and correspondingly, the locking protrusions 203 are provided on both opposite sides of the outer circumference of the charging barrel 2 .

[0038] In this solution, in order to further improve the stability of the charging barrel 2 after installation, a mounting position 101 is further provided on the snow melter body 1. Specifically, a mounting foot 201 is further provided on the outer circumference of the charging barrel 2, and a connecting groove 1011 for the mounting foot 201 to be inserted is further provided on the side wall of the mounting position 101. A supporting wing 202 is further provided on the outer circumference of the charging barrel 2, and after the charging barrel 2 is installed, the supporting wing 202 overlaps the upper side of the mounting position 101. That is, after the charging barrel 2 is installed, the three positions of the front mounting foot 201, the outer supporting wing 202 and the rear clamping protrusion 203 are formed to support the snow melter body 1, and the supporting wing 202 can play a certain load-bearing supporting effect, which is conducive to maintaining the stability of the charging barrel 2. In this solution, a limit block is also provided on the upper side of the mounting foot 201, which is opposite to the supporting wing 202 in the direction of installation of the charging barrel 2 to prevent over-installation.

[0039] The utility model provides a snow melting machine, which improves the structure of the elastic seal. By gradually increasing the thickness of the sealing side, a loading bucket is gradually deformed from the elastic seal to the elastic seal during the process from being about to be installed to being installed. This process reduces the obstruction of the elastic seal to the loading bucket installation process, makes the user installation easier, and ensures the sealing performance.
